It’s my experience in working with taxpayers who owe the IRS, there are also other problems going on in their lives that created the IRS problem and they get paralyzed, don’t resolve their tax problem, and find it getting worse and worse.  When tax debt is not dealt with timely, it can easily escalate to a point where bank accounts get levied, wages get garnished, and liens are placed on assets. Tax debt can double over time with Late Filing and Late Payment Penalties as well as interest.  The Good News is that there are solutions. Many taxpayers who come into our Richardson, TX, tax office, have heard the Offer-In-Compromise advertisements and want to settle their tax debt for “Pennies on the Dollar” as they hear on the advertisements.  However, the reality is that most taxpayers don’t... 06/28/2020

Because of the unemployment predicament, the unprecedented forbearance crisis and the great risks created by both, mortgage companies are verifying employment the day of closing (or a minimum the day before).  If the borrower has lost their job, furloughed or been temporarily “deferred”, guidelines do not allow lenders to use that income to qualify- even if it is closing day.   So if you are a home buyer or seller, make sure that you are communicating with your agent or your agent is communicating with you, and to address the issue right away.  Here in Texas, we have the Covid 19 Addendum.  It is best for any home buyers and sellers to discuss this addendum with their agent.  If you are looking to sell or buy a home, I'm honored to assist.  My client's reviews are available below: “Susi... 06/22/2020
